Building, scaling, and consolidating enterprise platforms — that's what I've been brought in to do for the past ten years.

Building the observability platform at E.ON Digital Technology

Embedded in engineering teams at E.ON, Allianz, Volkswagen, Bundesdruckerei, Nelly Solutions, and Telefonica. I take over backlog, discovery, and operating rhythm and stay until the team runs on its own.

At E.ON, I consolidated six monitoring tools into one OpenTelemetry platform. At Allianz, I built developer self-service with built-in compliance — cloud provisioning went from over a year to weeks. At Volkswagen, I built the commerce backbone for five brands — 1M+ users with real-time pricing and live inventory.

Before that, six years at Capgemini and Erminas, where I learned the fundamentals: software engineering, systems design, and delivery across fintech, retail, insurance, and aerospace. I studied welding engineering, computer science, health economics, and machine learning — research at four universities across Hamburg, Copenhagen, San Diego, and the University of Federal Armed Forces. Work in enough different worlds and you know the patterns.

How I work

I embed, I don't advise

Slack, Jira, incident calls — I work where the decisions happen. The only way to understand a platform is from inside it. Most engagements start with a week of just listening.

Security is the foundation

GDPR, BSI, KRITIS, Gematik — I've shipped under all of them. Compliance isn't a gate at the end. It's a design constraint from day one.

Platforms, not projects

project ends with the deadline. A platform has users who depend on it long after.

Teams, not systems

The goal isn't a great platform.

I install operational playbooks.


Selected engagements

E.ON2024 – 2025
Observability Platform

Six monitoring tools, zero shared language for incidents. Built one OpenTelemetry platform that replaced them all. New domains now onboard in days, not months.

Allianz2022 – 2023
Cloud Platform Engineering

Getting a cloud environment took over a year. Built developer self-service with compliance baked in. Same thing now takes weeks.

Volkswagen2022 – 2023
Commerce Platform

Five brands, five ordering systems, no shared inventory. Built the commerce backbone that unified them. 1M+ users now see real prices and real stock.
